Spring Planting!


We have started our seedlings! New veggies are germinating as you read this.    We decided to keep the selection of vegetables and herbs small this year, in hopes to have bigger crop yields, vs. the variety of crops.  

We focused on big tomatoes: red, orange, yellow, and a pink one.  All huge, heirloom tomatoes.  We are tired of getting a million small grape or cherry tomatoes; we really want the beefsteaks and big boys this summer.  

We are growing a few varieties of peppers, some herbs (we still have lots of fresh ones in the garden from previous plantings), only one type of carrot.  Bush beans.  Zucchini.  Cantaloupe. I am sure I am forgetting some.  

We planted them yesterday and so far, nothing has come up.
